Makeover Time!

Sorry for the sudden disappearance, but my blog got hit for the 1,000th time a couple of days ago so the blog and I decided to celebrate with a makeover! We made an agreement - she ditched her readers and I ditched my friends for graphic shopping yesterday :D

We were both virgins at this. Hihi.

Dear blog was very excited and understandably indecisive on the style that suits her the most (being a true girl at this!). I was disappointed to see most of styles were either very comical, grungy or just plain boring. We were looking for something classy and a bit girlish - vintage even if possible (serious decisiveness issue, sighhhh).

I struggled learning HTML to be honest, it's a totally different language that unfortunately is not so user friendly. We decided pretty quickly on the background, if only because there's not much to choose from - until I found this but my eyeballs were already falling off their sockets by then.




As you can see in the 1st and 2nd picture, I tried graphic coloring (took this newbie 2 freaking hours to color the leaves!) only to realize that I prefer the original, black and white version (pffft). I thought it stands out more, and gives a classical feel to the blog. The third one's pretty but it's too girlish and made me felt like I was 13, what with the polka dots, ribbons, and pinky touch put together. I really liked the last one actually but the header was not mine, it was Fabulous K's and I really don't want to be stealing graphics, so I tested the layout just to take a picture of it because it's so pretty :D

I'm already missing the old layout with the red stripe bag, but nobody wears the same bag for two years (not even blogs), so it has got to go =)

That's all for now, my puffy eyes are begging me to sleep.
Feedback is welcomed!

Xx.

  3. Wow. That's pretty quick, learning html in 2 hours. I took 2 seconds looking at the tutorial then gave up right away. It all didn't make sense! Argh! *pulls leg hair*

  4. Nononoooo...I'm not THAT good. The background was prepared, I just copy and paste the html. I learned html to change margins, and I downloaded the tedious recolored program. (Too much time, seriously!) Hihi.

  7. But I have a feeling the polka dots are not staying for long :( Polka dots have this effect on me, it's like love at first sight, but very short term in nature. I cant stare at it for too long/often. Seasonal love, really :P

    Iks : Must've been the ribbon huh? Mungkin wedding card org tak buat polka dot? Hihi
